Shawn, that is kind of normal for a switch to ohm out with a minute resistance. Try unplugging your idle stabilizer on the top of the engine while it is running and see if this lets your idle go down to where it should be. It could be the idle stabilizer itself or the control unit (the control units are the most common source of the problem in my experience). You can clean the idle stabilizer out with some brake cleaner and some times this will clear the problem up. Let me know if I can help you further.

Is 1 ohm too much? Does this mean the TPS is bad and should be replaced? > Thanks,Shawn1986 Vanagon 2.1L > > -- Thanks, Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com Phone: 856-327-4936 Fax: 856-327-2242 |
